Cross-saving

[Lisfisher]

Hello, I am new here, from CT. Nice to see a dedicated forum for Safari users. Can anyone explain to me "cross saving" ? I do have Andy's book and have read that chapter over and over but I still can't get a grasp on it.

Cross-saving has two "basic" features. You can use it to eliminate target icons and use it to determine what audio response you want to receive from your targets, be it conductive or ferrous based audio signals. I personally cross-save the coins/jewelry mode to the all-metal mode. By doing so it prevents target icons from cluttering up my screen because of being in the all-metal mode, while at the same time by cross-saving the coins/jewelry mode it rejects most targets in the iron range (-10 to -1) while allowing me to hear everything else and with an conductivity-based audio response. Being basically a coin-shooter and silver hunter this cross-saving program works very well for me as I'm not interested in iron targets other than what the threshold response tells me. Many like to do their hunting in the all-metal mode so as to hear everything, but there is too much iron in my area when combined with modern junk for me to do that. Hopefully this helps a little...

What Mtnmn does is exactly how I hunt most of the time; I also am mostly a coinshooter. I'll open it up only if I am specifically looking for gold jewelry, but I still use the cross saved coin/jewelry mode in all metal. I hate those icons; they serve no purpose after you have handled the detector more than an hour. Thats probably the only thing I dislike about my Safari.

Here is a link to a video on how to cross save with the Safari. http://www.minelabowners.com/forum/vbtube_show.php?tubeid=367

Let me know what type of hunting you plan on doing and I will walk you through using the "cross saving" feature and setting the rest to optimize your detector

Cross-saving has been discussed alot on this forum; here is a link to one such thread that may help.
